WATCH: Jon Bon Jovi Saves Suicidal Woman From Jumping Off Bridge In Viral Clip
Jon Bon Jovi proved he’s not just a rock star but also a hero in a dramatic incident caught on camera in Nashville, Tennessee. While filming a music video, the 61-year-old singer intervened to save a woman from jumping off a bridge, an act that has gone viral.
Bon Jovi was seen approaching a distraught 62-year-old woman on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Eyewitnesses say the woman was leaning over the railing, preparing to jump, when the musician calmly walked over to her.
The bridge is named in honor of John Seigenthaler, the esteemed editor from Tennessee, who, as a reporter in the 1950s, stopped a man from jumping off the bridge.
In the clip, Bon Jovi can be seen talking to the woman before leaning over the railing himself. In a heart-stopping moment, he reached out, pulling the woman back to safety. He embraced her as bystanders watched in relief. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to provide further assistance.
WATCH:
Bon Jovi, known for hits like “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Wanted Dead or Alive,” has long been involved in charity work, particularly focusing on homelessness and mental health awareness through his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation.
Police Chief John Drake emphasized the collective effort required for public safety in his statement, saying, “It takes all of us to help keep each other safe.”
“A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night. Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety,” Metro Nashville PD tweeted.

These are the things we need to see more of on X, uplifting stories.
Sometimes I feel we concentrate too much on the negative, I know I find myself doing that.

Did Bon Jovi tell the woman "Take my hand and we'll make it I swear."?

Jon Bon Jovi is a true American hero for doing this.
There’s no more noble an act than saving someone else’s life.
Well done JBJ!
